NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The ‘Saturday Night Live’ Season 49 has begun, and comedian and actor Pete Davidson appeared on it, as he spoke about the ongoing atrocities in Israel as the Hamas conflict continues.
‘The View’ panel discussed Davidson’s appearance on ‘SNL’ as they spoke about some of their own ways of getting through these difficult times.
As the co-hosts weighed in, Sara Haines mentioned watching ‘The Golden Bachelor,’ and Ana Navarro was unimpressed.
‘The View’ hosts debriefs Pete Davidson’s ‘SNL’ appearance
Host and moderator Whoopi Goldberg is back on ‘The View’ after a brief hiatus as she introduced the topic to the panel, “Now we were talking about comedy, and 'SNL' kicked off its 49th season Saturday night, and guest host Pete Davidson gave a very personal perspective on grappling with the atrocities happening in the Middle East. Take a look.”
‘The View’ played Pete Davidson’s clip from ‘SNL’ before Goldberg took over, “Is finding a reason to smile again really one of the only ways out of the dark? And especially for kids. He was 7 when he lost his dad in 9/11, and, you know, he was…his mom inadvertently put on…”
Sara Haines jumped in to fill in the blanks and said, “Eddie Murphy,” to which Alyssa Farah Griffin responded, “It's not appropriate, but it's hilarious.”
Goldberg added, “Well, it's absolutely appropriate. No, and it made him laugh, but his mother, he said his mom was going to take it out, but it had been the first time she'd seen him laugh. So, is it so, do you think?”
Ana Navarro weighs in
Ana Navarro talked about her experience over the weekend, “I've thought about this a lot this weekend. I was at the Wine and Food Festival, and we have had a lot of conversations, and I think it's something we do daily on this show.”
“Look, what do terrorists want? Terrorists want to terrorize us. They want to have us living in fear, and I think the way you fight terrorism in our own little ways that we can do our lives is by finding joy, by finding light, by continuing our lives, by living, by not being afraid of being who we are and doing what we do,” said Navarro.
After Navarro, Alyssa Farah weighed in before Sara Haines got her turn, “It’s what I’m relieved about with the writer’s strike, and hopefully, the SAG one as well, is that the arts and escapism, through not only funny stuff but reality.”
“I had to do it at the end of the last week, we were talking about tuning out, so I watched a little ‘The Golden Bachelor,’ and felt a lot better, I recommend it,” said Haines, as she slightly nudged Navarro.
To this recommendation, Navarro simply shook her head disapprovingly as she looked into the camera. Well, only time can tell if Navarro is going to take Haines' "recommendation" seriously.
